ANSWER THIS QUESTION AND YOU GET BRAINLIEST AND A THANKS In humans, as well as in many other animals and some plants, the sex of the individual is determined by sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are one pair of non-homologous chromosomes: XX represents a female, while XY represents a male. When a gene for a specific trait is attached to the X or Y chromosome, we say it is sex-linked, and when it is attached to the X chromosome, we say it is X-linked. Alleles for these linked traits, such as hemophilia or color blindness, crosses, may be recessive or dominant.

Hemophilia is an X-linked, recessive trait. The recessive allele for hemophilia is actually a mutated version of the normal alllele but it can still be passed on through generations. Imagine a female is a carrier for hemophilia; her genotype is XHXh. She is married to a man who does not have hemophilia. What conclusion is NOT valid concerning this genetic cross?

A) 0% of female offspring will have hemophilia.
B) 100% of the male offspring will have hemophilia.
C) There is a 50% chance that male offspring will have hemophilia.
D) The chance that female offspring will have the allele for hemophilia is 50%.

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip. nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule. true/false
